Drug-induced hypertension, though rare, often presents diagnostic challenges, particularly when the causative drug is not typically associated with hypertension. We describe a case involving a 55-year-old woman who presented with anxiety, confusion, and significantly high blood pressure unresponsive to standard treatments. Despite increasing medication doses, her blood pressure remained poorly controlled, leading to an investigation for secondary causes.

This review paper discusses the key aspects of ocular biopharmaceutics, with emphasis on the crucial role played by ocular compartmental modelling and simulation in deciphering physiological conditions related to various eye diseases. It describes eye's intricate structure and function and the need for precise and targeted drug delivery systems to address prevalent eye conditions. The review categorizes and discusses various formulations employed in ocular drug delivery, delineating their respective advantages and limitations.

Overcoming these hurdles, we developed an efficient and mild method for the selective synthesis of symmetrical diorganyl tellurides , a representative class of organotellurium compounds, using a proper reducing reagent. The reaction condition was optimized for the selective formation of by forming the telluride dianion (Te) using a reducing reagent, sodium borohydride (NaBH), and then followed by the addition of organyl halides.

Hybrid water splitting replaces the OER with the oxidation of an organic molecule to enhance hydrogen production along with value-added products. The scarcity of affordable and highly effective catalysts remains a major challenge.
